Ode to Swimmee

Brian and I held a sad funeral tonight... in the bathroom.
Swimmee, one of the kid's frogs, had to be flushed today:(
Swimmee has been sick since we went on vacation and tonight he decided he was ready to go. I asked Brian if he wanted to say a few words. He said that Swimmee was a good frog and we could buy a new one tomorrow. (So easily forgotten, you insensitive frog owner).I guess 10 months is a good life for a water frog.
Swimmee's friend, Swimmer looks so lonely in the tank. Now his only friend is Turkey, the snail.

Our deep condolences about the loss of Swimmee. We tried to be good hospice providers for her in her last days. She has now moved on to a flushy-er place. :)

I hope the kids aren't too broken up. See you soon!

Hey no one said a word about Swimmee today so I guess 'out of sight, out of mind!' Good old frog!
